Updating from Solution to FLX48

[Petera]

We are about to update from a Solution to an FLX48s. Three questions.

 

1) Will Solution show files load directly to the FLX?

2) Can the Remote Switches be used on the FLX?

3) What adaptor is required to trigger the FLX via MSC (from Qlab)?

 

Regards

Peter

Really pleased to hear you are upgrading to a FLX S48.

Yes - Solution show files can be loaded into FLX S48.

FLX S48 consoles have a maximum of 96 fixtures, 96 playbacks (plus master), 96 groups, and 96 of each palette. Therefore, if you load in a show file that contains these items higher than 96, those items will not be loaded. You therefore might need to rearrange items on the Solution first, prior to saving the show file.

No - there are no Remote Switches on FLX S48 consoles. Remote Switches are only available on the standard FLX.

FLX S48 consoles do not support MIDI. However, in the next software update for FLX S48, OSC triggers will be supported, which can be sent over the network from QLab. 

If you have any questions please let us know.
